There are many on here able to give you advice on the best way of changing from mineral to synthetic oils (have you done a site search?) Unless technology has changed, in my experience combining mineral and vegetable oils will result in some sort of jelly mess that does not work so well as a lubricant.

You need to drain the existing oil out of a warm engine, replace the filter, then the oil. But you were asking the merits of mineral, versus synthetic oils. Wait to hear what others have to say.

Vegetable oils are a different story.
Who runs vegetable oils in a road bike anyway?

Don't ride it much, it's my fun form of transport, not my daily ride. 3000km in just over a year :-(
